<p><B>Primary Actor: </B>Simulation Operator </p> 


<P><B>Stakeholders and Interests:<br>
</B>- Simulation operator wants to send TraffoPacket data in a way which would
support load testing for the TraffoBase.  </P>
<P><B>Preconditions:</B>
  <br>
  - Configuration files for loading test purpose are already available. <br>
  - Configuration files successfully parsed by TraffoSim and TraffoPacket   data
  generated.  </P>

<P>
<B>Postconditions:</B>
<br>
- Simulation operator gets sufficient stats to analyze the TraffoBase's   load
variance over the TraffoPacket data sent.  </P>

<B>Main Success Scenario:</B>
<OL>
<LI>Simulation operator launches TraffoSim.  
<LI>Simulation operator loads one file of the configuration file set for load
  testing into TraffoSim.  
<LI>Simulation operator starts TraffoSim to send TraffoPacket data to TraffoBase.  
<LI>Simulation operator uses tools to record the load of TraffoBase.  
<LI>Simulation operator continues step 2~4 until all cases/configuraion files
  are tested.  
</OL>

<p><B>Alternative Scenarios:</B></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<P><B>GUI Interaction:</B><BR>

<P>
<B>Open Issues:</B><BR>
- Should simulation operation also be involved in the data gathering for TraffoBase's
load analysis? </P>
